8th Grade

Have you ever been through 8th grade? Felt the pressure of everything on you before high school? Felt like you were at the bottom and everything is riding on you? I know I have, 8th grade has been a hard, stressful and yet great year for me.
This year has been one of the best years of my life. My friends have helped a lot. They make me happy when I’m not. They make everything funny even when it’s not meant to be. Like Patrick Ota brushing his teeth during lunch! I have never seen a kid do that and now I have see my best friend do it! Patrick is the funniest friend I have. Then there’s Michael McCall and his brother Davis, Savanna Haverfield, Austin Perry, Emily McPhetridge and many more. Those are all the people that know how to make me laugh at anytime and that has been a highlight of my 8th grade year.
Also, this year I have made a lot of new friends. Most of them from Tahoma Middle School but others from Cedar River I just didn’t talk to much last year. But the down side to that is that I lost some great friends I had. On the bright side I have found more good friends and they have changed my life forever. This has been the best year of my life and I hope to keep it that way. I also hope everything gets better from here.
The summer of 2009 will definitely be the best summer ever! In August, Kelsey O’Fallon and I are meeting up with our best friend Hailey Stephenson. We haven’t seen her for SEVEN YEARS! She is flying up from North Carolina (as weird as that sounds) to see us. We are going to hang out everyday for as long as she is here. We are going to do as much as we can to catch up on everything. This summer will be the best summer ever and I will do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Hailey is like a twin to me. We were born on the same day, just a couple of hours apart. We lived on the same street as kids and will finally get back together. That’s what is going to be so great about this summer.
8th grade has been a hard, stressful and great year. All these things have only made it better. The friends, fun, and summer. School is almost out and that’s what I’m looking forward to. The stresses of 8th grade all go away in the summer when you have fun they go away, and when September comes, you are ready for High School.
